Hello everyone,
There's the next chapter of the USJ arc, I had to combine episode 10 and 11 together since at first this chapter was only 4 pages long. I didn't feel like there was a proper way to cut off in that episode so I continued into the next episode.
Oh boy, the next chapter of this story is going to be epic. The battle scene is going to a great thing to write and I'm very excited to get it started soon.
I would like to thank everyone who continues to read this story and gave hearts, it makes me very happy. Now without further ado on with the chapter.
Moon.
Chapter 6
The army of villains moved forward, crowding around the fountain and looking around to see where they were and who they would fight. Pulling down on his bandages the fabric unfurled around Aizawa, his hair lifting from his head pointing up - his expression serious and deadly. Class 1-A stood behind Thirteen who had his arm up preventing anyone else from moving and ready to protect them if need be. The three villains that really caught their attention were the misty black figure dressed formally in a suit, some kind of bird person monster with red wires coming out of its' arms and brain exposed. While the one who looked like the leader had hands placed all over the upper half of his body - messy light blue hair covering most of his red eyes.
"What villains?!"
"There's no way they could get into the school!"
"Mr. Thirteen, what about the trespasser sensors?" Yaoyorozu broke through from the back of the class looking at the teacher for answers.
"We have them of course, but…"
"Did they only appear here or the whole school? Either way, if the sensors aren't working, then that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that. An isolated area away from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be fools, but they're not dumb. This is a surprise attack that was carefully planned with a goal in mind."
Hearing Todoroki's words the students stood in silence, now knowing the full gravity of the situation in front of them. Walking a bit further in front of the group Aizawa told Thirteen to start moving the class away from the building and attempt to contact the school.
"Kaminari. You try using your quirk to contact the school as well."
"Yes sir." placing his hand over his antenna, Kaminari started getting to work on trying to call for help.
Midoriya spoke up in a panic with his green eye widen with fear, "What about you sir? Will you fight them all by yourself? With that many enemies, even if you can erase their quirks...Eraserhead's fighting style is capturing after erasing the enemy's quirk. A frontal battle is…"
"You can't be a one trick pony if you want to be a hero. I'm leaving it to you, Thirteen." he leaned forward before jumping high into the air and down the staircase at great speed.
The enemy saw him coming and prepared to attack the incoming hero that was now running right at them. In a flash Aizawa activated his quirk just before they were about to attack, wondering why their quirks weren't worked the enemy looked confused - they didn't even notice the hero launched his bandages to capture them. The cloth wrapped around them tightly as they were tossed into the air before being yanked downward and their heads collided with each other, knocking them out. More villain was surrounding Aizawa and they realized who he was. One of the more brash villains charged the teacher attacking him with his multiple arms that were encased in some kind of rock.
Expertly dodging the swinging arms, Aizawa saw a moment to throw a strong punch right in the enemy's face. With a turn, he threw another bandage - catching the guy by the foot, and effectively dodged an attack from behind him. He quickly counterattacked with a kick to the head before turning his attention back on his captured prey, pulling the cloth caused it to release the villain's foot which made him land into a small group of enemies. Deactivating his quirk the lanky man still stood in the middle of the enemies, ready to counter any attacks that would be sent his way.
Choosing another target, he jumped kicked a female villain in the face while having his capture weapon wrap around another person behind him. Disposing of those two, he then turned, continuing attacking the mass of villains while in the background the students were making their escape away from the USJ.
Midoriya was still standing at the staircase looking on in amazement at his teacher and the skills he possessed. Iida noticing the boy wasn't following the rest of the class called him over.
"This is no time for analysis! Hurry up and take shelter!"
The would-be- heroes continued to run towards the main exit, but before it could be reached a swirling black mist appeared in front of them blocking their way out.
"I won't let you."
Cursing himself for not fully noticing that the most annoying villain had caught up with his class. Quickly getting rid of a villain, Aizawa turned to head towards the fleeing class but was blocked off by his enemies.
A gentlemanly voice came out of the misty mass and started to introduce himself.
"Nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves into the home of heroes, U.A high school, in order to have All Might, the symbol of peace, to take his last breath. I believe he should have been here. Has there been some kind of change? Well, that's neither here nor there. This is the part that I play."
Thirteen had stealthy opened one of his fingers to use his black hole against the person in front of them but was stopped when Bakugo and Kirishima leaped into the air to attack. They swung their arms simultaneously, a huge explosion went off covering the area in smoke.
"Did you even consider that you'd get beaten by us before you did?" Kirishima taunting the villain out loud into the air, confident that he was no more.
The smoke slowly started to clear, and they could see that the enemy was still standing, the attack completely going through the villain's body has no effect on him
whatsoever.
"Oh dear, that's dangerous. That's right, even if you're all students, you are excellent golden eggs."
Thirteen called the two boys to move out of the way so he could use his own quirk, but it was too late to act.
"My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death!" misty black tendrils surrounded the entire class quickly. Iida grabbed Uraraka and Sato and jumped to the side as to not get carried away, while Shoji used his huge body to cover Ashio and Sero - protecting them from what was happening. Looking up from the outside Iida saw that the remaining students were trapped in a swirling purple black dome.
"Everyone..!"
A black portal opened up in the collapse zone and Izumi was tossed into a building, still slightly confused as to where and how she got there she dusted herself off and gained her bearings. She barely had any time to react before she was attacked, dodge rolling out of the way she took up a battle ready stance. Her eyes scanned the room, looking to see how many villains were in the same room with her - counted five. Seeing that there was no other option but to fight or flee she decided to stick to her guns and fight!
Meanwhile, the students who were able to avoid getting carried away still stood on the top of the staircase - Shoji using his tentacles to scout the areas trying to get information.
"Shoji-kun, is everyone here? Can you check?" Iida's voice was stressed.
"Everyone's scattered but they're all still in the building."
They breathed a sigh of relief finding out that their classmates were still in the area, then they looked towards the misty black mass that remained. Thirteen turned to Iida gaining his attention, he told the boy that he needed to make it to the school and get help.
"Run to the school and tell them what's happening here. The alarms aren't sounding off, and our phones don't have a signal. The alarm system is based on infrared rays, even though Eraserhead is using his quirk left and right - they're still not working. Which mean they have someone with an interference quirk who hid right when they arrived.
It would be faster for you to run than for us to track him down."
"But it would be a disgrace as the class rep to leave everyone behind-"
"Go Emergency Exit! If you can get outside, there are alarms. That's why these guys are only doing this on the inside, right?" Sato stepped forward getting ready to fight against the enemy that was blocking the exit. Soon Sero joined the yellow-clad teen at his side.
"As long as you go outside, they won't follow you! Blow this fog away with your legs!"
"Use your quirk to save others!" hearing Thirteen speak those work Iida understood what he needed to do.
"I can totally support you like I did in the cafeteria! I will! Please, class rep!"
With a determined look on his face, Iida readied himself in a sprint position - ready for the smallest opening so he could make a dash towards the outside to get help. The warp villain mocked them about their plan.
"Even if you don't have any other choice, are there really idiots that talk about their plans in front of the enemy?!" he launched his attack, splitting in different directions.
"We did it because it wouldn't matter if we're found out!"
At the plaza in the center of the USJ was winning against the huge mass of villains that were gathered there, the defeated laid on the ground unconscious. Leaping and flying through the air Aizawa caught two more villains with his scarf pulling them together before turning in midair and giving them a swift kick to the stomach. Landing on the top of the two bodies, looking up he saw the scrawny man with the hands running at him quickly - acting fast he threw his bandages at the charging villain, the enemy caught the cloth single-handedly. Aizawa ran forward grabbing the material pulling the skinny man towards him and elbowing him in the stomach. Sadly, the blow didn't connect as it was caught.
"It's hard to see because you keep moving around, but there's an instant where your hair falls. That's when you finished an action, and the space in between has gotten shorter and shorter. Don't push yourself, Eraserhead."
The hand that had caught the hero's elbow started to crumble and began showing the muscles underneath the skin. Surging forward Aizawa gave a quick punch, pushing the villain back and away from him before gaining more distance between themselves. Another villain from behind attack but missed before getting launched back - more and more villains kept coming at him. Continuing to dodge expertly even as one of his arms was out of commission, he was starting to get tired, breathing heavily as he continued to fend off attacks.
Disposing of the final underlings he turned to face the light blue haired man, the villain laughed at the display and the panting hero in front of him.
"You're so cool...You're so cool! By the way hero, I'm not the final boss."
Standing behind the teacher was a huge creature, lifting its' muscular arm it struck Aizawa - half of his goggles broke at the impact and blood traveled through the air. Only the sounds of punches connecting to flesh could be heard.
Back at the top of the staircase, Thirteen was trying to suck up and capture the villain that was blocking the way out.
"Black Hole, a quirk that sucks up everything and turns it into dust. What an astounding power. However Thirteen, you're a hero that works to rescue people from disasters. As expected, your battle experience is less than half of a normal hero."
The villain opened a warp gate behind the teacher, and since Thirteen was using his quirk - that meant that he was getting sucked into his own Black Hole. The force of the suction was breaking apart the hero's costume exposing the back, Thirteen was gravely injured as he deactivated his quirk before he hit the ground. The students watched in horror at what was happening in front of them, Sato who quickly snapped out of it shouted.
"Iida, run! Hurry!"
Conflicted and scared Iida clenched his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut before taking the moment that his teacher had given him - engines on his legs flared into action and Iida ran. He cursed aloud at what he was doing, but he needed to get out, he needed to run and get help. He couldn't let Thirteen's actions be in vain - the warp gate villain opened a portal in the direction the boy was running, Iida couldn't stop in time and tried to skid to a stop. Luckily, Shoji decided to leap into action, he surrounded the misty gate with his large arms and rolled around from Iida yelling at him to hurry. Once again, the blue-haired teen surged forward. Seeing that he was about to make it to the exit, the villain made his way over hoping to stop him. Uraraka, who was tending to Thirteen noticed that there was something metal that wasn't moving and was covered in mist.
Iida kept running to the automatic door wondering what he should do once he reached it.
"You're impudent, four-eyes. Begone!" behind him the villain was right on his tail before overwhelming him with his body. Darkness covered his field of vision, the feeling of failure overcame him at not being able to make it out and get help from the school.
In the collapse zone explosions could be heard as the building crumbled and windows shattered raining glass down to the ground. Inside Bakugo was fighting against villains that surrounded Kirishima and himself. He was ragged, one of his gauntlets had broken and his mask shredded - while Kirishima had a few scratches and bruises from fighting.
"Is this all of them?! They're so weak."
"Alright. Let's hurry up and go help the others! If we're here, then everyone else should be in the USJ too. I'm worried about the guys with less offensive abilities. Besides, because we ran ahead, we slowed Thirteen down. If he had been able to suck up that fog, then this wouldn't have happened!
As men, we have to take responsibility for what we did!" Kirishima was feeling extremely guilty for their actions, reflecting on their mistakes at the time.
"If you want to go, then go by yourself. I'm gonna kill that warp gate."
"What?! You're gonna act childish at a time like this?! Besides, that guy's attacks are-"
"SHUT UP!" Bakugo had enough of Kirishima and what he was saying.
"That bastard is the enemy's way in and out. I'm gonna cut off their getaway route for when the time comes. It's not like we don't have a way to fight the fog."
The spiky haired boy was too busy ranting and raving his plan that he didn't notice there was one final villain that had been lurking. The villain had been able to turn invisible and attacked Bakugo before grabbing Kirishima and using him as a hostage.
"You should have stopped chit-chatting and pay attention to your surroundings boy, you just like your friend get caught by me. Now if you don't want him to get hurt you better back off or else the redhead dies!" the chameleon had a vice grip on Kirishima throat and started to squeeze it tightly, causing the boy to grab the arm of his captor trying to get him off to breathe.
Blazing red eyes looked at the villain with hatred and took a few steps back, he needed to think of a plan and kick this guy's ass.
The door that led the way out of the room they were in was open a bit, quietly a black puddle slithered inside making it's way to where the villain was backtracking and dragging Kirishima with him. He was cocky at having taking control of the situation.
"That's right boy, you don't want your friend to get hurt now do you? Didn't think so."
The black puddle halted and shifted into a figure, a confident smirk came across their lips - happy that the target hadn't noticed them. Leaning into his ear a voice whispered.
"Hey, you shouldn't do that."
In a flash the villain snapped his head around to see a girl smiling, eyes widen in shock but before he could do anything she slapped the sides of his head where his ears were. Causing him to become a bit disoriented and letting go of Kirishima, acting quickly before he had a chance to make a grab again for the hostage she grabbed the sides of his head bringing to back and slamming her knee into his face which made him stagger backward. Dashing up to the semi-conscious chameleon man, she punched his throat hard which made him unable to scream out in pain - with a victorious smirk on her face she swept her leg underneath his feet which made him fall to the ground hard with a thud.
"Next time, you should listen to your own advice. Then you might have been able to let me play more." groaning was the only thing that came out of the man's mouth, seeing that there was no more reason to keep him around - she gave a rough kick to the face effectively knocked the man out.
The two boys kind of stood there in shock at what happened, it was all so fast - Kirishima snapped out of the shock to run up and thank his hero.
"Thanks, Toshihara! That was pretty manly of you, I didn't think you would be able to be so ruthless." giving his signature wide grin and gave a thumbs up.
Izumi turned around, her hair now loose as her ponytail was unable to stay in place with all the fighting she had been doing. Her hero costume was torn in places and she was sporting a few cuts and bruises - she smiled at the spiky red head and waved to him.
"Well, I normally don't go that hard - but I decided that since they came to us looking for a fight, why not have some fun and play with them." a small chuckle came out of her mouth, happy that he was okay.
Finally stepping into the conversation, Bakugo walked up to the two - his face annoyed at being shown up by a girl.
"So, you got sent here too, huh Shadow Witch? What the hell took you so long to make it here to us, had a tough time kicking ass?!"
"Oh...you're here. Well, I'm sure you know that you guys weren't the only one that had to fight villains you know. I didn't have another person with me so I had to fight my group on my own."
"Tch, couldn't handle a few villains by yourself girly! No wonder you look like you went to hell and back again."
Seeing that the two were about to have a shouting match again like they had on the Kirishima went between his two classmates preventing them from going at it with each other. They needed to get out of here and reach the rest of the class.
"C-Come on guys, we don't have time to fight right now! We gotta make it back to everyone, to make sure they're safe you know."
Hearing those words Izumi stopped herself from getting in too deep into a fight with Bakugo and nodded to the shark-toothed boy. She agreed with him one hundred percent, she was very worried about her friends - hoping that they were okay and safe.
"You're right Kirishima, we need to move and make sure everyone is safe." the two students moved to the door making their way out of the room and out the building.
"HEY! Don't you ignore me! This isn't over yet Shadow Witch, not by a long shot!" Bakugo charging after them, not wanting to lose the fight that was about to happen. Having caught up with the two he let out an annoyed sound before shoving his hands into his pockets, the three talked about where they thought everyone that got separated would meet up - and came to a conclusion. With a nod of their heads, they made their way to the center of the USJ...The Plaza.
Just as the mist was about warp Iida away from the path of the door, the villain stopped feeling something was wrong.
Uraraka who had placed her hands on the metal bracer that was floating in place, she activated her quirk.
"I don't know the theory behind it, but if it's wearing something like this then it must mean he has a physical body!" she tossed the metal of metal in the air and screamed for Iida to go! To RUN and make it out, to get help!
"My body! Oh no!" having his physical body displaced from the spot it was rooting from, he couldn't reach Iida in time before he reached the door.
The door was heavy and needed to be pulled apart, the teen desperately grasped and began to pull - praying that it would open. At first, it didn't give way, then a small peek of sunlight made it through the crack as if it was the light of hope trying to spill through. The villain saw that he was almost out and rushed forward ready to stop him.
"I won't let you!" tape spring from Sero arms, sticking to the metal and Sato quickly grabbed the piece of tape and pulled spinning the enemy around and around while Iida continued to pull the door apart.
"GO!" throwing the villain away from them, the students looked back to see that their class rep had made it out and just ran as fast as he could. Leaving a huge trail of dust in his wake, on his way to get help.
The beast was now crushing Aizawa's arms, twisting it in a position that was completely unnatural. Blood pouring out of the wound and the sound of bone breaking rang out and a scream of pain from the downed teacher was awful. Standing a few feet in front of the scene, bored red eyes watched as his creature kept the teacher pinned down.
"You can erase quirks. That's wonderful, but it's nothing impressive. In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well be quirkless."
Struggling to turn his head, Aizawa looked at the man in front of him and activated his quirk for a second before the monster stomped down on his other arm - effectively crushing it. Blood running down the front of his face, he couldn't really do anything as a huge hand took him by the back of his head lifting it before bringing it back down to the ground. Leaving a small crater from the force of the impact.
Hiding away in a pool of water that connected to the plaza stood Asui, Mineta, and Midoriya watching the whole thing. They couldn't move, their eyes glued to the scene in front of them - Mineta was covering his mouth and shaking in fear seeing what was happening to their homeroom teacher.
"Midoriya, I can't take it anymore. I'm sure you're having second thoughts, right?" tears pooling in the small boy's eyes.
The boy couldn't say anything at all, as if he was frozen in time - green eyes as wide as they could be and jaw clenched.
Next, to the skinny man, the warp gate villain appeared out of thin air.
"Tomura Shigaraki."
"Kurogiri, did you kill Thirteen?"
"I put him out of commission, but there were students I was unable to disperse, and one of them was able to get away."
"Huh?" hearing that made the man, Shigaraki, he started to scratch at his neck a bit - then more and more until he brought up his other hand to go the same on the other side. The scratching became frenzied and he started to shake.
"Kurogiri, you...If you weren't a warp gate, I would have crushed you to pieces."
He suddenly stopped his movements, his neck was slightly red from irritated it. "We can't win against dozens of pros. It's game over. Man, it's game over this time. Let's go home."
Mineta perked up a bit after hearing them said that.
"They're going home? Did he say they were going home?"
"That's what I heard."
Tears of joy flowed from his eyes as he hugged Asui in relief, his hand on her chest.
"Alright! We're saved!"
"Yes, but.." Asui quickly and quietly shoved Mineta underwater for having touched her breast before turning to Midoriya.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Yeah, for them to simply retreat after doing all this…" his mind was raced with all kinds of thoughts.
"Oh yeah. Before we leave, let's smash some of his pride…"
Shigaraki turned to look over at the three students that were hiding, a gush of air reached them and in a second he was upon them. Arm ready to grab one of them and red eyes crazed at the idea of hurting them.
"As the symbol of peace!"
Reaching his arm out at Asui, she completely unaware since everything was happening too quickly. Midoriya's eyes traveled at the same time as the villain's arm as it was about to reach its destination, terror is written all over his face. He thought back to what happened to Aizawa's elbow when it came into contact with his hand, it crumbled away. In his mind, he could see his classmate vaporized into dust and he couldn't do a thing to stop it. Shigaraki's hand was just about to touch her face, the frog girl's eyes widened in surprise and it stopped.
"Damn it. You really are cool…"
Turning to look back, he saw Aizawa forcing his head up from the weight of it being pushed down - hair up as a sign his quirk was activated. Bloodshot red eyes looked at the scrawny man that was about to harm his student, blood pouring from his head, nose and mouth.
"...Eraserhead." his head getting slammed back into the ground.
Midoriya taking this brief moment, he jumped up from the water his arm drawn back ready to punch the man in front of them, his mind panicking racing as his body just reacted on its' own. He knew that this guy was completely different from all the other villain that his small group fought against before they made their way to the plaza.
"Let go of her! Smash…!"
The force of the punch was sent a huge shockwave through the air, throwing back minor villains that were in the area - making large waves in the water and the lights shatter. A big dust cloud covered the boy, his heart pumping with adrenaline. Midoriya noticed that his arm wasn't broken this time - he was happy that finally, he was able to control his quirk for a second. Looking up to see that the huge bird-like beast took the blow from his punch, it didn't even damage it at all. Pulling his trembling arm back and he suddenly realized it.
"You move well. Your 'smash' are you a follower of All Might's? Oh well, I'm done with you."
The beast grabbed Midoriya's arm and his other arm lifted, but before anything else could happen Asui let go of Mineta and shot her tongue out hoping to pull the hand away in time. All the while Shigaraki continued to reach his hand over to the girl, everything was happening at the same time - the tension of the whole situation was crazy.
Everyone at that moment had their breath held, sudden a loud crash was heard. Doors flew off its hinges and everyone that heard it turned their head at the sound, a cloud of dust could be seen at the staircase. Strong footsteps echoed, the students that were at the top of the stair started to smile and tremble with relief at seeing how it was that came to help.
"It's fine now! I am here!"
"All Might!"
All...Might…."
He stood proudly atop the stairs, his figure was strong and confident. As if he was an unshakable force of nature - he had his suit jacket in his arm before he tossed it to the side. His face had strong dark shadows showing how angry he was at what was going on.
"Oh, we're getting a continue…"
